21 concurrent Remote Desktop sessions!

I just discovered a program that allows for 21 concurrent Remote
Desktop sessions and I find it great! but they sell it for $100/user
that is a big lot...
Do you know other programs that do the same, possibly for less?

I forgot to write that they are 21 concurrent Remote Desktop sessions
to a single Windows XP PC!

And it goes against the EULA.

Even if you pay them all?

Look here: http://www.thinsoftinc.com/product_t...server_xp.aspx.
It seems a big company. I can't believe that there isn't a legal
solution to use their program for what it's sold...

Re: 21 concurrent Remote Desktop sessions!

Hi there,

if its legal or not?! Good question.
Ive talked with the ms business customer service last year here in germany
and get the answer, that it is legal to use something like xpunlimited or
thinsoft...
The only, logical, thing is, that you have to obtain RDL (remote desktop
license).

This may be interessting:

Best regards from germany,

Andreas

XP Unlimited seems interesting! unlimited (not sure) concurrent RD
sessions and reasonable price.
I'm also trying to find the price of Citrix Presentation Server 4.5
that seems to offer unlimited concurrent RD sessions in Windows Server
and it's the technology RD is based on...

Up until now, you have been talking about connecting to an XP system.
Now, you're talking about connecting to a server...

You are also talking *EXPENSIVE*... Citrix is a server based software
that requires Terminal Server running in Application mode. That means
you need the server OS (Windows 2003 minimum for 4.5), user licenses for
every device (or user) connecting as well as TS licenses for every
device/user. Add on the cost of Citrix server and connection licenses
(concurrent) and the annual fee for SA and you're talking **BIG** bucks...

You're right. I abandoned the Citrix solution...
